Well, one thing about Jewish funerals is that they don't give Westboro much time to plan or travel. The funeral is tomorrow.
That's my girl, large and in-charge. Okay, teensy-weensy and in charge.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ha Hil! That's true.
Oh, so sad that he is dead. Screw WBC for making about them for even a second. Leonard Nimoy will be missed.
There needs to be a protest with sportsball at a foodtruck.
One thing I've noticed about protests: not enough food trucks. They should fix that.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
That is a solid market the mobile food trucks are really missing out on.

Argh. Friend invited me to this thing tonight and I tried to go...but then realized the location it sent me to was not actually an address. I texted her and waited for about 10 minutes parked, but no answer. So I drove back home. Grr. I TRIED To go be with people.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Could they refuse to serve food to the WBC?

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
askye, I'm sorry you are having such a rough time.
If I were in reach of an opportunity to counter-protest WBC, I'd make a sign asking them to stop taking God's name in vain.

Thrive to spite them
So I took the option for staying home and told Will and said I need to just be alone and deal with this.
He got worried and showed up. And now I'm more of a mess because I'm dealing with so much and I know I'm feeling so upset and alone and just pissed because I knew this would happen.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Nimoy acted on his social conscience, too.
askye, I'm so sorry this is being so difficult for you. You are amazingly strong, and I so very much admire your determination to get beyond this and get things right for yourself.
PDX/PNW misses you, too, Cass.

Compassionately intolerant
Leonard Nimoy acted on MY social conscience too.
Today is the 29th anniversary of the beginning of the Great Peace March...which I know you all have heard me talk about, perhaps too many times.
What I have not previously mentioned is that Leonard Nimoy narrated, and appeared in the commercial that set me on the 3,742 mile journey that changed everything about my life.
In addition, when the organization that originally sponsored the March walked off (pun totally intended) with 3.2 million of the dollars people like me raised, Mr. Nimoy contributed to those of us who gutted it out to regroup and finish on time.
When it was all over, he strong-armed Paramount Studios to give us an editing suite to complete Cathy Zeutlin's documentary about our journey.
In this clip, you can hear his voice and catch a glimpse of him walking at 1:00.
He was a truly authentic, centered and human man. As far as I can tell, he never shrank from his own warts, yet was graciously accepting of everyone around him.
